Sweet Things (Georgie Fame album)

Sweet Things is the 1966 third album with the Blue Flames by Georgie Fame which reached No.6 in the album Top Ten in the UK. Following this album his band The Blue Flames was replaced with The Tornados.

The album, issued on the Columbia label (SX 6043), has been described as "one of the finest British R&B albums of the mid-'60s."

Style and content
Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Dave Thompson says that it ".. follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, a punchy R&B stomper that could (even should) have been recorded live, so high is the energy, and so abandoned the backing of the Blue Flames."
